Goal for renewable energy pondered
An article by Ben Fischer (bfischer@madison.com) in the Wisconsin State Journal:
Wisconsin could enjoy upwards of $3 billion in new construction investments in the coming decade if the state requires more renewable resources to be used for electricity generation, an industry group said Tuesday.
That windfall and the corresponding new jobs would help offset the nearly $8 billion that flows away from the state each year to pay for traditional fossil- fuel based power, said Mark Jacobson, a representative of the Chicago wind farm developer Invenergy.
